Anyone who has your IP address can determine your location to a point.

Don't you mean guess your location?

I understand with Celluar phones, but even in a wide open area, nobody can actually show where you are at that moment. Checkout DuckDuckgo.com a newer and selfproclaimed privater search engine.

About the gh hacker. What kind of person pays somebody with a car, and two more Ipad's to hack? Why did SONY let him off the hook. This sounds like some kind of plablicity stunt, that a PR manager cooked up. You don't just openly admit that somebody walked into the place, went threw a network containing users data, and then reset the place?

Like the flash loophole problem I keep hearing about.

You seriously think Sony's public relations department did this just to get publicity?  I'm sorry, but that's just outright silly.

Yes, the term 'no PR is bad PR' is downright false.  Gary Glitter will tell you that...  Sony have already been served with a subpoena.
